DESTASH - Scrumptious Peach Moonstone Beads

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:23:37 -0500

$12.00
These are some really beautiful beads. Moonstone has such amazing depth and inner glow, and peach moonstone is my favorite. I used some of these beads for a piece I made and donated to our local land conservancy's annual silent auction several years ago. Since then I've been waiting for an inspiration to strike that would utilize the rest of the strand, but it hasn't happen - so out they go!

These are 12mm x 8mm ovals that are hand-faceted. There are 19 beads, which is about the equivalent of 9" strung. You will receive the beads you see in the photo.

DESTASH - Soft and Subtle Sepentine Coin Beads

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:25:36 -0400

$2.50
These beads are a natural, pale green serpentine -sometimes called 'New Jade'. I'm not seeing as much of it in this color lately, it's often dyed and I don't think it's nearly as attractive that way. These have a very nice translucence

These are 20mm round coin beads and they are approximately 4mm thick. There are 13 of them and if strung, are about the equivalent of 10 inches. You will receive the exact beads that you see in the photo.

This is a 3"x3" bag crammed full of various sized, shaped and colored wooden beads. They range in size from about 4mm x 2mm to 8mm x 6mm. Great assortment for stringing or as accents. No, I do not know what kind of wood but I believe it came from a tree.

DESTASH - Big Bright Red Santa Claus is Coming Seed Beads

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:11:48 -0400

$3.50
I bought these beads to make Christmas ornament covers. Every year I buy beads to make ornament covers. Every year I have left over beads. Yet every year I buy more.

I finally put all these Christmas beads in one place and I either have to open a Christmas bead shop or sell them to you! These are size 8, silver-lined bright red beads. This is a 30gram box and I only opened it to shake some out to photograph, so you are getting the entire amount.

DESTASH - Mystic Mysterious White Moonstone Beads

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:46:36 -0400

$4.50
Moonstone is such a wonderful gemstone - I love its milky depths and subtle glow. It also has the happy characteristic of mixing well with just about any other stone. These are 9mmx5mm (approximately) ovals, polished to a warm sheen. This is a 16inch strand, however there are several loose beads in the bag that I took off to use and then changed my mind. You will receive the beads that you see in the photo.

DESTASH - Tiny Tigereye Beads

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:27:04 -0400

$1.50
Well, maybe not SO tiny - they actually measure 4mm - but they are pretty small! Lovely color and marking, but they are not all perfectly round. I think they'd be great in a freeform sort of piece or mixed with other beads - maybe some onyx and amber?? You will receive the exact beads (both quantity and quality) that you see in the photos.

DESTASH - Rough-Cut Green Grossular Garnet Tube Beads

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:42:21 -0400

$8.00
These are really special beads and are fairly hard to find anymore. They are rough-cut and polished, with wonderful inclusions and have a fantastic primitive look! I used two beads from this 16" strand (they made fabulous earrings with some silver clay additions!), you get the rest. The beads run between 12mm - 14mm long and 4mm - 5mm across.

DESTASH - Flying Saucer Solid Sterling Silver Spacer Beads

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:38:11 -0400

$15.00
Well, I think they look like flying saucers! These babies measure 5mm x 2mm and are solid sterling. They are a nice hefty bead and are very versatile.

I just priced these on Fire Mountain Gems website and they are currently selling for $17.70 for a package of 20. This is a package of 24 (a portion of the beads you see in the photo).

DESTASH - Pretty Peach Aventurine Beads

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:58:36 -0400

$1.75
Peach is one of my favorite colors and these beads are no exception. They are a lovely rich shade of peach - actually a little lighter than the photo suggests, they were tough to capture - and have a wonderful luminescence that I love. I was going to use them with the pale yellow aragonite beads that I also have listed here but they've been sitting in my stash for about 3 years now, so it would appear that it's time to let someone else have a chance at them!

These lovelies are 6mm in size and there is roughly the equivalent of 15 inch strand. You will receive the exact beads you see in the photo.

DESTASH - Creamy Dreamy Aragonite Beads

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:51:24 -0400

$2.75
These beads are pretty amazing. Their color is like a pale, creamy honey. They go with just about any other color or stone. I love them with peach aventurine (I have some listed, by the way :-), carnelian, just about any jasper - in fact, I really can't think of anything they WOULDN'T go with.

These are 6mm round beads and this is roughly the equivalent of a 15" strand. You will receive the exact beads you see in the photo.

DESTASH - Serene Blue Sodalite Beads

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:22:30 -0400

$2.50
Sodalite is an underrated stone, if you ask me. It has all the wonderful, deep blue of lapis, plus beautiful bits of white streaking through. And it matches perfectly with jeans - who could ask for more?

These are 6mm round beads and you will receive the exact beads that you see in the photo.

DESTASH - Glowing Green Moss Agate Nuggets

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:46:40 -0400

$4.50
I adore the color of these beads, a sort of cross between sea green and teal, with a sort of milky opalescent matrix running through them than gives them a wonderful depth and glow. These are highly polished nuggets with an irregular cut and they average in size around 10mm x 15mm - some a little larger, some smaller. You will receive the very beads you see in the photos.

DESTASH - Pale and Lovely Rose Quartz Chiclets

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:39:27 -0400

$5.50
These are some beautiful rose quartz rectangle beads, sized 20mm x 15mm. They are unfaceted and very regularly cut - no 'parallelograms'. There are 14 of them, enough to make a nice necklace or two bracelets. The color on these is nice, my photos don't really do them justice, and a good high polish. You will receive the very beads you see in the photo.

DESTASH - Red Agate Cube Beads

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:07:07 -0400

$2.00
Although these beads are orange in color, they are made from red agate which comes in many varieties of shades. They measure 4mm and you will receive exactly the beads you see in the photos.
